Changed Calls

Famous quotes containing the words changed and/or calls:

    “Warm in December, cold in June, you say?”
    “I don’t suppose the water’s changed at all.
    You and I know enough to know it’s warm
    Compared with cold, and cold compared with warm.
    But all the fun’s in how you say a thing.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.
    William James (1842–1910)
